I'm not too concerned about the assembly on the bike. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.

I have an Apogee MTB and a Aprisa Elite Roadie from Ibex. My Apogee did not come with the advertised rear shock but rather some off-brand made in China thing that would not hold a charge from my shock pump. I replaced it with a Fox Vanilla and no other problems. Great folks to deal with. I love both bikes.
The thing is the level of components you get for your money (my one strange anomoly aside) and that is where Ibex truly shines.
My Aprisa is a 17.8 pound wonder (added a carbon post, seat and handle bar) that is quite a racer. Much more bike than this beginner can fully utilize yet. Full Ultegra components, neuvation wheels that are weightless (grin).
Good luck!
